    Friendly staff, beautiful scenery and brilliant fun
    We hired kayaks as a family and did the 5km route. The water was so clear and the countryside beautiful and tranquil. Denis and the rest of the staff were relaxed, knowledgeable and super friendly. We even jumped in for a swim at the end (very cold, but worth it!) We came back the next day and hired bikes and e-bikes and did the 30km Prozor bike tour which was explained really well and had so much to see on the way (ancient temples, water mills, villages, caves and an old airfield with vintage planes). Again the scenery was stunning. Denis is always ready with a smile and and attitude that anything is possible! Would highly recommend!

    Very professional company - great experience
    We have 3 kids 7-10 years old, and have a decent amount of kayaking experience and did the self guided tour, which was very simple and well-equipped. The staff were really professional and friendly, and the price was very fair. It was a beautiful and tranquil experience, surrounded by nature and very few paddlers on the river with us. We also did kayaking on the Zrmanja, which had rapids and was a very different experience, but we really enjoyed both. I would highly recommend this company, if you are in the area.

    Great and unique experience. Our first time ever kayaking so was a little uneasy but the hosts were very welcoming and nice. Wasn’t overcrowded, nice and quiet and relaxing. Would 100% recommend.

    Excellent, professional and fun!
    We went on the 33km bike tour around the area of Prozor. It was absolutely incredible. The scenery was beautiful, the pizza at Pizzeria Ruspante was divine, and the off road tracks was special. Denis is a great guy, offering backup to pick us up if we had any trouble along the route. He even have a very clear GPX Viewer map to use also. Thank you Denis!

    Exciting and funny experience
    Definitely recommend the transparent kayak, which allows for an amazing view below, laughs, and excitement! A smaller route than the 8km is also available.

    Must do when on vacation!
    What a great way to spend the day in nature! Denis and his crew are nice and welcoming. We went kayaking (never done that before), so they explained all the important moves to us and put us in the water. River Gacka is slow and calm, so you can enjoy amazing views and nature habitat around it. We were super slow, so our journey lasted about 3,5 hours (ca 8 km). Don t bring a lot of stuff or food, just row and enjoy! :)

    Amazing ride in the gacka valley
    We had a great fun doing the 33km ride around the valley. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Denis detaily explained us the bike route and to download the GPS track to follow it! Great think to do near by Plevicka lakes apart from visiting the lakes and waterfalls!

    Amazing experience! 💯%
    We were met by a lovely, warm and friendly chap called Karlo, he offered us a homemade juice which was lovely and welcoming. Was also offered home made rum! He then drove us to the Trout river to ride in see-through Kayaks. We didn't realise it was going to be overcast and was offered Denis the owners collection of Camo jackets, to which was lovely and warm we were ever so grateful. The river was lovely, calm also clear. After our paddle session, Karlo met us and took us back to collect the car and gave us a great recommendation for a bistro 5 minutes away called Ribic. It had nice food and was fairly priced.) Then in the afternoon we were given protective trousers for our quad session. We were shown around the beautiful little village, tasted natural spring water and learnt alot of history by Karlo himself. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. As a first timer to the quads I would strongly recommend it on a bucket list. Very easy to ride a real adrenline rush! I already can't wait to visit here again, it was an amazingly fun, memorable experience. Friendly kind and helpful team, it was an absolute pleasure. The owner Denis met us before leaving and made sure we had a great time, Thank you all so much for a wonderful day. 👌🏼(14.08.19) Kind Regards Donna x (P.s my 15 yr old Daughter loved it too!)

    Awesome experience
    Was a great experience with good guidance by our guide. The explanation of the quads was good so we were quick on our way. This area has a lot to offer regarding the beautifull landscapes. The last part was the best with some real off-roading. We would definitely recommend this to everyone

    Great quad ride and friendly staff
    We had a great time. The quad ride was great, some time on road, off road and then an adventurous last part through the woods. The staff was extremely friendly and flexible since our arrival time changed because of the traffic. Definitely an activity worth travelling for even from a farther distance, would recommend to everyone, even those a bit less adventurous as it's not scary.

    Transparent kayaks
    The transparant kajaks are really recommended since the water super clear and there are many different plants to admire in the shallow waters. Just don’t go in the middle of the dat because there js absolutely no shade except for the 3 bridges you’ll pas in the 2,5 hours.The host is very helpful and funny and was helpful beyond necessary, he recommended a restaurant (Boomerang) that was really nice and we spotted him eating there later as well. P.S. the price for the kajaks is cheaper if you pay directly to the host instead of through Tripadvisor ;)

First of all, the landscape is beautiful and for those who are up for a rest with a light drive through the beautiful Gacka valley along the river, which is adorned with the epithet of one of the cleanest in the world, I definitely recommend a visit. In addition to kayaking on the river, Velebit offers a handful of other activities that we will surely return to experience. Exceptional quality service, professionalism, precision in communication and agreement, and the kindness of the staff and the host, I will certainly point out as virtues for which we will visit Prozor again.

Great service, we have rented the see through Kayaks, which was great. Nice views of the river above and below the service. Best to call and make a reservation.

We decided to rent a kayak on our way from Pag Island to the Plitvica Lakes. Service is excellent, both through messenger and in person. Very kind and helpful staff, that spoke perfect English (and German). Kayak was in good condition and a little pillow is provided to prevent a sore back. You will be dropped off and picked up by car at the start and finish The river trail is easy and gives you a great view of the rural inland of Croatia. Lots of green, sheep, cows, waterbirds, birds of prey and fish to spot on the way. Very friendly locals as well. It took us about 1.5hrs to complete the tour. We didn't take a break, but there are plenty of spots to rest along the way. Great value for money.

The owner Denis is an absolute legend. He and his staff were super friendly and helpful. We were in the area to mainly visit the lakes but were recommended to head to Denis for a see through kayak experience. Worth it!!! The river is super clear. If you have the time go and see the source. Thank you Denis and crew.

What a joy this experience was. An abundance of fish (trout) and birds, including a rare heron. The water was so clear, the transparent kayaks were great to view below. Easy paddling and being dropped off up river and collected down river made it a fun, rather than challenging, activity. Denis and his staff were great and we enjoyed the coffee afterwards - thank you.

Wanted to try something different, stumbled on this through the internet. From the booking everything went great! Efficient, prepared and smiling staff! Welcoming when you arrive. Denis is doing a great job in offering through his team a very nice experience.
If you like nature and silence then try it and it is interesting to see the landscape from a different perspective!
